I've been asked by several friends and family if married life feels different. Usually, my answer is, "no." I haven't received a certified copy of my marriage license yet, so I have not been able to change my last name. It's weird still signing receipts and such with the maiden name. I also lived with my husband for several years now. I'm sure traditionally, women would move in after their wedding day. That just doesn't really happen now. So, the house is the same; the routines are the same.
I find it strange referring to my man as my husband. That's a new term. We think it's cute to call each other wife and husband in private. That part is new.
So yeah. That answers that. I wanted to also address the baby issues. I'm a pretty practical lady, and I've always set out to have a plan in life. I know, for me, that baby making starts after marriage. My husband and I are in no way financially ready to start a family, but being married almost makes me feel like we're legally able to make babies! When out shopping, I like to visit the baby departments to look at safety car seats and clothing. It's just a new world that's so interesting to me nowadays.
I'm unemployed, and my husband is looking to start a career rather than just have a job. I'd love to be a stay-at-home mom, but we couldn't do that until my husband earned enough on his own. So yeah, my clock is ticking, but I'm just hitting the snooze button.
That's all for now!

haha I love the line "my clock is ticking but I am hitting the snooze button". When I told my gyno I was engaged last year she started grilling me about babies -- I wanted to say "Let me be married first, I am in NO rush". My sister is having her baby soon, so I want to see how she does. The weirdest thought for me is there is potential for me to preggo the same time as my sister -- we are 8 yrs apart so that would be strange to say the least! My friend who got married last year also was living with her husband prior to marriage & said she didn't feel any different after the wedding - so I am not expecting much. The weirdest thing happened the other week though -- Tim's brother called Tim my husband. I was like wow that's going to be weird hearing other people say that. We joke & call each other husband & wife, but no one else has said that until now.
I just wanted to say that your comment above was nice. I get the comments emailed to me and haven't spent much time logged in to this. You should update your blog sometime... : )
